Crissy's Point of ViewI woke up, and my head is pounding. I reach to feel my head, and I feel a small open wound. I look at my hand. It is covered in blood. I let out a tiny scream. I stare at my hand for what felt like hours. My head must have hit the cage when they threw me in. I sat upright, leaning against the cage, trying to puzzle everything together about what had happened. I close my eyes and lean against the cage, trying to gain my strength, pacing my breath, trying not to pass out again. The thoughts in my head are overwhelming.I knew nothing good could have come from getting to know Austin and his brothers. Why did I ever agree to sleep with them? Why did I ever allow them to come into my life? They only cause drama. Well, I should have known it would happen. Because every single romance novel that has something to do with werewolves, vampires, or any mystical creature never ends well. The girl that is permanently stuck in the middle is always the one to get her heart bro
Austin’s Point of ViewThe sun is shining through the curtains. I open my eyes, and I see Crissy lying next to me. What a beautiful sight. She thought she had an intense dream. I also thought the same, but to our surprise, it actually happened. She jumps out of bed, trying to process what we had done. She quickly made her way to the bathroom and told us we could show ourselves out.My brother and I stare at each other, accepting that we all three slept with her. We grab our clothes, quickly got dressed. I took a piece of paper lying on her dressing table, wrote her note, and placed it there.We made our way out of her house. We preloaded our car the night before. We grab the keys, jump into our car, and pull out of the driveway and start to make our drive to Brentwood.“Austin.” Michael broke the silence.“Yeah, what's up.” I respond. Keeping my eyes on the road.“What made you change your mind about Crissy’s offer?” Michael asks. I kept quiet for a few minutes, before replying.“The
Austin’s Point of ViewBefore saying anything, I gathered the courage to speak. The silence is broken, I listen to the loud commotion. I can only assume the conversations that are taking place. It's about how we left them and weren’t here to protect them. I can hear their disappointment. I took a big breath and step closer to the edge of the balcony for the entire pack to see me. When the pack looks up, they saw me and my brother standing there. All of a sudden, it was silent again. Not even the pups make a little sound. We stand there, not knowing what to say.My heart is racing. The feeling as if it wants to climb out of my chest. Opening my mouth, trying to form the words. Hesitantly, I begin to speak.“Evening.” I speak with a shivering tone. “It is us, your Alpha, and your betas. We apologize that we weren't here to protect your pups or to save your husbands. It is with deep sorrow that I asked for your forgiveness.” I hesitated on what to say next, then Michael steps in“Our fel
Crissy’s Point of ViewKai drags me back to the cage. I don’t struggle, fight or kick. I am too tired at this moment. I didn't have the strength to fight or to try and run. I needed to work with a plan. Some way to keep the little strength that I had left.“Get in the cage, human,” Kai yells. His tone was loud. I just stare at him before spitting on his shoes.Crouching down, I made my way into the cage. Before entering completely Kai pushes me in. Making me fall to the ground, scraping my knee. Trying to hold my breath, trying not to scream. Fuck, you dick. I turn around and made my way to the corner. Watching Kai lock the cage.“Pathetic human.” He says. Spitting into my cage before walking away.Human. Really, dick head, I have a fucking name. I shook my head. I start scanning my surroundings, realizing I was in a different cage. There are a lot of other people in separate cages. Some of them are sleeping. I hope. Some are sitting there staring into the abyss. I stare down, looking
Austin’s Point of ViewWhile sitting at my workbench. Finishing the last details of my plan. I stare at it. A smile started to make its way to my face. This might work. This might actually work. If everyone follows the plan, it might be full proof. Don’t worry father and Crissy we will get you guys out of there. Not long now. Soon you will be safe at home.There is a knock on my door. I’m startled by the loud knock. Grabbing my chest, my breaths fast.“Come in!” I yell, then I start rolling up the paper.“Sir, I think your team is ready.” The commander states while standing in the doorframe.“Good. Let’s go.” I stand up and make my way out of my room. Following the commander.Walking beside the commander, we make our way to the training area. Everyone is standing there waiting for me to arrive. I stare at them, and they salute me. I salute back. My heart feels like it is melting—the love and loyalty of my pack. This is something that every Alpha longs for. A true and loyal pack only
Michael's Point of ViewStanding outside watching as our pack training. A smile appears on my face. The trust and loyalty these people have in us. Thinking, they have every right not to trust us. We left them. Without any warning. They hardly cared for our return. But here they are, training their butts off. Wanting to save our pack. To save their pups and husbands. Turning around, I made my way to the river. From here you could see the castle. Mostly, you could see Austin's room. I turn to face the castle. Looking through Austin's window. Seeing him sitting at his workbench. Not lifting his head for one second. The stress that he must feel right now. Must be overwhelming. The thought that you might lose your entire pack in one blow. Your entire family. Even the thought makes me worry.Turning to face the river. Staring out onto the waters, the soothing sound calms me down. I close my eyes. Dreaming of the days when everything was so much simpler. Easier. Not the worry of keeping a
Zack’s Point of View My parents always wanted my sister to be the Alpha. She has always been the apple of their eye. Cia is older than me, but I am stronger and more intelligent than her. Before I turned eighteen, I killed my parents because I knew my sister would win the competition and become Alpha. I took the opportunity and killed them before any of that could happen. I don’t miss them don’t. I love replaying that memory. I would have killed my sister by now, but she begged me not to. If I don’t kill her, she needs to be my slave. So far, she has held up her part of the deal. I have been told that I am a cruel man. But you need to be cruel to be kind as that saying goes. Back to my plan. So far it is falling into place. Everything is going accordingly. Crissy in my possession. Including their father. Now we wait for them to come to us. Making my way to my feet. Walking down the steps. Kai standing behind me. “Kai! Bring Crissy to me,” I order Kai. Glaring over my shoulder.“Ye
Crissy’s Point of View Zack ties me up next to his throne. Tying the rope so tight it makes me scream on the inside. My arms burning. Listing to the sirens going off. My heart starts to race. Knowing Austin is here too safe me. I knew you would come for me. You wouldn’t leave me here to die. A smile starts to form on my face. Zack starts laughing. I stare at him in confusion. The thought of him leaning over me popped into my head. Making me shiver from disgust. His rough hands all over me. The though of him just wanting to kiss me, sickened me. How can anyone be so horrible. That girl. How could she tolerate him. How can she even be by his side following orders. “Crissy sweetie. Are you thinking about what we almost did. If it wasn’t for our rude guests, I would have taken you to heaven.” Zack says looking back at me. “Fuck you, Zack. I will never in my entire life even think of sleeping with you.” I spoke turning away. Focusing on the ground. “Oh, honey you wish you could fuck
Austin's Point of View Standing in my room. Watching the men in my room get my suit and everything ready. Anger starts to take over. Wanting Crissy all to myself. Not being able to makes me furious. I could have had her all to myself, but some people forgot to inform me that it was my coronation today. Making my way to my feet. I make my way to the bathroom to take a shower. Closing the door, I stood frozen. Unable to move. My heart racing. Wondering what they had picked out for Crissy to wear. Knowing I would rip it off anyway when we are alone. Finally getting myself to move again. I open the water for it to heat up. Climbing into the shower. Wanting to smell clean and fresh when standing in front of my pack. With my father not here anymore. Nor my mother. It is a heavy pill to swallow. "Sir? Are you almost finished." One of my men asks. "I will be right out. Give me one minute." I reply, shutting off the water and climbing out the shower. Grabbing a towel and wrapping it around
Crissy's Point of View We arrive at our room. I wanted him so badly. Austin and I start to kiss each other passionately. I first want to freshen up. "I just want to take a quick shower. With everything that went on. I don't want our alone time to be when I stink." I let out a soft giggle. Austin stares at me with a smirk on his face."Of course. I might join you." He says while giving me a wink.Making my way into the bathroom. Turning on the shower, Austin joins me. He walks up behind me. Grapping me around my waist. He starts kissing my neck. Making me let out a soft moan. I turn myself around, looking him in his eyes. Placing my hands on his face. I try finding the words to say, but nothing wants to come out. "You don't need to say anything. I know exactly what you want to say. I love you too." Austin says before giving me a kiss. He picks me up, and I throw my legs around his hips. "I love you." I whisper. Finally, the word escapes my mouth. Austin gives me a smile. He carrie
Austin’s Point of View I keep stuffing my face with food to ignore the fact that Crissy doesn’t want to talk to me. Crissy, what did I do to deserve this. Is it what Zack had told you. About his mate. I can’t prove to you what happened that day. But I can try and prove it to you. I look towards Crissy. Seeing her not eating makes me worry about her even more. I stood us and grabbed my glass with a fork. Tapping the glass with the fork to get everyone’s attention. “Good day everyone. Welcome.” I say. “Afternoon.” The dining room echoes. “Thank you all for joining the funeral. We lost brave soldiers and a fantastic leader. They will forever be missed and forever in our hearts.” “Hear. Hear.” Michael says while standing up and holding his glass in the air. “Hear! Hear!” everyone in the room repeated. Everyone sits back down. Including me and we enjoy our meal further. I catch a glimpse of Crissy. My heart racing. The thought of her not being open with me about what is bothering
Crissy’s Point of View While on our way to Brentwood, we sit in the car while Austin drives. At this moment, I felt uncomfortable and uneasy. The words that Zack told me about how Austin. Austin killing his mate still haunts me. I stare out the window, not wanting to cause a scene, especially not in front of my brother. Maybe I should ask Michael or Alexander. They could perhaps shine some light on things. Can I really trust Austin, or will he also kill me when he gets tired? “Crissy.” Austin breaks the silence “Yeah,” I respond “I haven’t asked yet. Are you sure you're okay? You seem a bit off. Is it the pain?” he asked. “Yeah, no. I'm fine, just a bit in pain from the kicking and so on.” I give a fake smile, then stare out of the window “There are some pain meds in the center console.” “I'm good, thanks. I think I'll manage.” I let out a nervous giggle “Looks like Thomas is tired. He has been sleeping the whole trip.” “Yeah.” I look at Thomas in the back seat “Are you sure
Crissy’s Point of View“Thomas. you have no idea how happy I am to see you.” I give him a hug.“Come on don't be so cheesy.” Thomas starts giggling.“But to the important part. do you forgive me?” I ask.“Yeah. Of course, I do. I now understand why you did all of this. Why you hid it from me, and you were trying to protect me.” he says.“Thank you. I promise I will never keep secrets from you again.” I gave him another hug. “you're not a child anymore. You're old enough to understand what's happening in life, and I can't stop you from growing up.”“Thank you, Crissy, and know you are always, always going to be my big sister. I can't be mad at you forever.” Thomas makes his way to the kitchen. “you're in the mood for some coffee?”“Yes, please, and then I will tell you everything that happened. While you were grandmas.”Thomas made us some coffee, and we sat down on the couch. I tell him the whole story about Austin. About Zach and How I met Henderson’s father, the truth about them bei
Austin’s Point of View “I never want to see you again,” Crissy says. As soon as those words left Crissy’s mouth, my heart shattered. Zack grabbed me and threw me to the ground. Zack started laughing. “Guess she does believe my story,” Zack says. I throw Zack off me, and we walk in a circle staring at each other. What on earth did he tell you, Crissy? What was the lie he told you to make you hate me? “What did you tell her?” I ask. “Nothing special. Just that you killed Arora.” He says while pouncing at me. I dodge his attack. “What? I didn’t kill her. You did!” I respond. “You and your family made me do it. Then made me leave the pack.” Zack grabs me, throwing me to the ground. “You left on your own! We didn’t force you.” I break free of his grip. “You took her life to prove your loyalty to my family. You are the one who wanted to join our pack because your parents disowned you.” “Well, my parents are dead now. When I tried to make amends. We had a wonderful breakfast. Righ
Crissy’s Point of View While Zack pulls me away, I stare at the horrible scene in front of me. The way they jump towards Austin, throwing him to the ground. Austin yelps for help. This is all my fault. The fact that I'm in love with him and I think he is in love with me makes him weak, losing his powers. His father told me that this could happen. How can I let this happen? How I'm going to fix this? I try escaping Zack’s clutches, but he is too strong. I kick, and I tried grabbing the ground to get some leverage. I know that as soon as I free myself, my chances of getting away are slim. Zack’s speed and strength. I am no match for it. I am trying to think of a way to save Austin. to give him back his powers. How would I be able to do that? “Let me go!” I scream “Shut up, you whore!” Zack replies. “All thanks to you, Austin. He has lost all his powers, and because of you, I will be able to kill him. With no sweat.” He throws me against the ground while saying this. “Why are you d
Austin’s Point of View We make our way down the mountain. Just minutes before reaching the other pack, the clouds rolled in the darkness of the rainy weather. Thunder echoing. A raindrop falls on my nose. At this moment, I have never been so scared of what might happen to my pack. In a few seconds, everything can fall apart. Michael makes his way past me attacking one of the wolves from the violent pack. Yelping sounds from all around me of the wolves getting hurt. One by one, they fall to the ground. I as well tackle one of the wolves to the ground. Unfortunately, in this war, you have to kill or be killed. One of the Violet pack wolves’ attacks one of the pups. I rush over, knock him down off his feet, and go for the throat. I helped the little pup up, making sure he was okay. I hear from a distant Michael screaming. I rush over to him, grab the wolf attacking him, and throw him to the ground, ripping open his throat. “Go find Crissy,” Michael orders me. “Are you guys sure you'r
Zack’s Point of View My parents always wanted my sister to be the alpha. She has always been the apple of their eye. Cia is older than me, but I am stronger and more intelligent than her. Before I turned eight teen, I killed my parents because I knew my sister would win the competition and become alpha. I took the opportunity and killed them before any of that could happen. I don’t miss them. I love replaying that memory. I would have killed my sister by now, but she begged me not to. If I don’t kill her, she needs to be my slave. So far, she has held up her part of the deal. “Kai! Bring Crissy to me,” I order Kai. “Yes, sir.” He replies. What if I sleep with her? Leave my scent all over her. Then the Hendersons won’t want her anymore. Or it will piss them off even more. I start to laugh. “Let me go!” Crissy screams. “Calm down, sweetheart. No matter how much you try and break free. You will never succeed in it.” I smile at her. “Fuck you, Zack.” She replies. “Feisty little on
